Miscellaneous

Description: SCP-BOX-A and -B are two approximate 2 by 2 by 2 metre cubes, each hollow and constructed from irregular steel plating. At the time of writing, the objects are the centre of a logical anomaly, characterised as follows:

SCP-BOX-A is contained within SCP-BOX-B, with a ten centimetre gap between the two.

SCP-BOX-B is contained within SCP-BOX-A, with an indeterminate gap between the two.

SCP-BOX-C, a non-anomalous crowbar, is contained within SCP-BOX-B, but not SCP-BOX-A.

SCP-BOX, defined as the system as a whole, will sporadically undergo HEINLEIN-Class Logical Reassertion Events, with an average of 6 months between recorded events. These events can be prematurely triggered by any major change in SCP-BOX's surroundings.

Currently, no method of opening SCP-BOX-A or -B has been found. See the below experiment log for more information.

Addendum | Abridged Experiment Log:

Experiment #: BOX-001

Procedure: D-008201 will attempt to collect a sample from SCP-BOX-A by means of a wire brush.

Result: D-008201 was unable to access SCP-BOX-A, as it was inside SCP-BOX-B. When instructed to instead try to collect a sample from SCP-BOX-B, the subject was unable to, as the object was contained within SCP-BOX-A.

Experiment #: BOX-002

Procedure: D-008201 was instructed to make contact between SCP-BOX and the aforementioned wire brush.

Result: As the brush was in contact with SCP-BOX-A, it was logically asserted that it must therefore also be within SCP-BOX-B. All attempts to retrieve the equipment have failed thus far, given its position alongside SCP-BOX-A in SCP-BOX-B.

Experiment #: BOX-004

Procedure: D-008201 was instructed to make direct physical contact with SCP-BOX.

Result: D-008201 was in contact with SCP-BOX-B, triggering a HEINLEIN-Class event. D-008201 has since been located within SCP-BOX-A. No physical injury was sustained by the subject, and containment procedures have been updated to ensure their survival. D-008201 has thus far been unable to penetrate SCP-BOX-A from the inside, as that would require first penetrating SCP-BOX-B.

Result: SCP-BOX underwent a HEINLEIN-Class event, resulting in the storage unit being contained within SCP-BOX-A, or possibly D-008201. This has not yet prevented the unit from acting as containment for the object.

Experiment #: BOX-017

Procedure: Storage Unit-BOX-01 was rained on during a period of inclement weather.

Result: D-008201 reported the space between SCP-BOX-A and -B filling with water, but it thankfully drained into SCP-BOX-B, meaning it was no longer in contact with SCP-BOX-A. Storage Unit-BOX-01 has since been modified to allow for proper drainage, though progress was hindered by the containment of the construction team within SCP-BOX-B.

Experiment #: BOX-022

Procedure: SCP-BOX was the subject of a full visual examination, from both the interior and exterior.

Result: The following inscription was found on the exterior of SCP-BOX-A:

Your noble pain and mercy cruelCannot protect and not containYet still you deignTo play the foolWe now remove what must remain
